The Value of Brunei Money

Many people asked me what is the best book to get if you collect paper money or coins?

The answer to that depends on which country's money you are collecting. But if you are focused on collecting Brunei's currency, then the best book to buy is this one - the Standard Catalogue of Malaysia, Singapore, Brunei Coin and Paper Money.

The catalogue is produced by a Mr Steven Tan and as you can see it is in its 19th edition. Steven is almost 73 years old today and had been in the business for the last 50 years. He is one of the most experienced person in today's numismatic world.

If you happen to have the old Brunei money, the catalogue priced it as follows:

'Begawan Series' (uncirculated)

$1 is now worth RM 160 $5 is RM 360$10 is RM 450$50 is RM 1,600$100 is RM 2,200

'Hassanal Bolkiah 1st series'

$1 is between RM20 to RM42 depending on the year of production$5 is RM 120$10 is RM 175$50 is RM 450$100 is RM 800 to RM 1,200$500 is RM 3,000 to RM 3,500$1000 is RM 5,800 to RM 6,300

'Hassanal Bolkiah 2nd series'

$1 is RM 9 to RM 15$5 is RM 35 to RM 50$10 is RM 60 to RM 80$50 is RM 280 to RM 300$100 is RM 430 to RM 600$500 is RM 2,400 to RM 2,600$1000 is RM 4,200$10000 is RM 32,000

If you happen to come across any of Brunei's old paper money, you know what to do. Don't spend it! They are worth more than their face value.

DESPITE first making its appearance in the Sultanate during the 1940s, Kuih Mor continues to be a household favourite today as a tea time snack or festive treat particularly during Hari Raya Aidil Fitri.

Siti Norhafizah Hj Bagol, a final year student at Universiti Brunei Darussalam who researched on Kuih Mor as part of her Brunei Traditional Industry module, said the three-ingredient sweet treat may have existed in Brunei as early as the 1940s when padi was known to have been grown to make different food items.

Over time, the cookie has also become a popular door-gift choice often handed out at Malay weddings or gatherings, said Siti Norhafizah.
